Scientists at Fermilab and Caltech have demonstrated the feasibility of their method of using squeezed light to dramatically increase the rate at which quantum networks can generate entangled particle pairs over long distances. This advance addresses a critical bottleneck in building large-scale quantum networks.
In its quest to understand why matter exists, the flagship neutrino experiment hosted by Fermilab is constructing an enormous next-generation liquid-argon-based detector a mile underground. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is building on the successes of previous liquid-argon experiments, promising measurements of unprecedented precision over a wide range of energies that will bring significant new insights into the nature of the universe.
In addition to revealing characteristics of mysterious particles called neutrinos, the massive DUNE experiment could help astronomers find a supernova right as it begins.
The Short-Baseline Near Detector has logged the largest sample of neutrino interactions in liquid argon in the world. Newly elected, Andrzej Szelc will co-lead SBND during the next phase of the experiment.
Troy England is an engineer at Fermilab who designs microelectronics that can function in the ultracold spaces required by quantum systems. His work is helping scientists get better data to explore particle interactions and understand qubit behavior.
Several components developed, assembled and tested by the HL-LHC Accelerator Upgrade Project, a consortium of U.S. national laboratories and institutions, including Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, take center stage as engineers at CERN build and test a section of the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider, a major upgrade to the world’s most powerful supercollider.
A new feasibility study for constructing machines that will enable further understanding of the Higgs boson and the exploration of the next energy frontier in particle physics was the focus of researchers participating in the U.S. Higgs Factory – Future Circular Collider Workshop.
Fermilab is forging innovative partnerships with community colleges to develop the next generation of technical talent. Through hands-on internships and collaborative curriculum development, students are gaining access to real-world experiences that launch meaningful careers in science and engineering.
Mackenzie Ring helps bring quantum research to life as a mechanical technician for the Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center at Fermilab, assembling and maintaining the complex systems inside the SQMS dilution refrigerators. Mackenzie’s role combines hands-on work, problem-solving and collaboration to support cutting-edge experiments at the forefront of science.
On July 21, 2000, the DONUT collaboration at Fermilab announced the first direct evidence for tau neutrinos. The particles remain elusive to this day, but physicists continue to seek new ways of studying them.
